Chapter 10 - I Couldn't Kill You

Marcus: "I'll kill you, just as you want."

Jinsoku: "..."

Jinsoku lifts his hands up.

Marcus (in head): "Is he mocking me?!"

Marcus rushes towards Jinsoku. As soon as he blinks, Jinsoku is gone. Marcus turns around and sees Jinsoku standing with the same pose.

Marcus: "A murderer afraid to kill. I thought you wanted me to kill you."

Jinsoku: "..."

Jinsoku uses spare rope and ties his arms together. Visibly frustrated by the act, Marcus runs towards Jinsoku. As he tries to hit him, Jinsoku releases his hands from the ropes and punches Marcus right in the face, hitting him to the ground. A smile rises on Jinsoku's face as Marcus wipes his nose. Marcus tries to kick Jinsoku but he jumps back, allowing Marcus to get up from the floor.

Marcus (in head): "He's very quick. I can't keep track."

Jinsoku holds his head in pain.

Marcus (in head): "There."

Wasting no time, Marcus lunges forward and attacks Jinsoku. Defenseless, he gets hit and sent back. Marcus continuously attacks him, hitting him repeatedly.

Marcus: "You slipped!"

Jinsoku: "..."

Jinsoku grabs both of his hands, and headbutts Marcus. He drop kicks him backwards, sending Marcus tumbling back and himself onto the floor. Marcus gets up, coughing heavily. He picks up a knife next to where he fell. But as he looks back, Jinsoku disappears.

Marcus (in head): "Where did he go?"

The woods go silent around Marcus. He looks above himself and sees Jinsoku sitting on a tree branch, staring into the moonlit sky.

Marcus: "Get down here!"

Marcus (in head): "Why can I not keep up with him now?"

Jinsoku: "..."

Jinsoku jumps down back onto the ground. Jinsoku slowly approaches Marcus. In an instant, he vanishes. Marcus immediately looks around and tries to attack behind himself, but Jinsoku appears on the other side. Marcus hurried turns around but Jinsoku punches him in the stomach. He follows up with a few punches to the abdomen and lands a kick on his head, sending Marcus to the floor. Jinsoku grabs Marcus by the leg and drags him through the woods. Once he finds ample space, Jinsoku lets go off him and walks back to his rope, which he picks up.

Marcus (in head): "I'm going... to die..."

Marcus slowly loses consciousness. As Jinsoku walks back to him, he falls to his knees, holding his head.

Jinsoku (in head): "My head's... spinning..."

Unable to keep himself up, he falls to the ground, losing consciousness. Over at the south west side of the woods, Kassius is on the floor as Arnold stands.

Arnold: "You're resilient."

Kassius: "You too."

Kassius kick flips back up and gets in a fighting pose.

Arnold: "The next one that hits will end it."
